Do you want to improve your health, and protect our environment while getting fresh air? You’re just in luck as this week is Bike to Work Week! From May 30th to June 5th HUB cycling is hosting a week-long campaign to promote the benefits and uses of bikes as a mode of transportation.
What is GoByBike Week?
GoByBike week is a seven-day challenge, where the goal is to bike as much as possible while logging your trips and submitting them by registering for GoByBike Week on HUB cycling’s website. Once you register and have logged at least one bike ride you will be entered for a grand prize of a cycling trip for 2 to Holland from Exodus Travels.
How to Register?
You can register individually or as a team at GoByBike Week on HUB cycling’s website. If you are registering individually ensure to join the “UBC Solo Rider’s Team” to partake with fellow UBC members. Also, make sure to check out campus community planning’s GoByBike Week blog post for a more detailed explanation of registration.
